It is accurate to say that each of us has our own concept of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily. Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments in which to express these abilities, it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly. For some people, simply being able to live their life with a minimum of misery and suffering is considered a success. Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep, enjoys his frugal life with his family in the beauty of nature, and who is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of and accepted by his and his society. On the other hand, it seems that even though some people appear to be rich in material possessions, many of them seem to be miserable and consider themselves unsuccessful when judged by their own standards of success. Because not all ventures can be successful, one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving success, but if one has self-confidence it would be unfortunate to set one’s goals at too low a level of achievement. A wise counselor once said to a young man who was experiencing frustration with his own professional success: “You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in traveling. Sometimes one can be very successful merely by taking a walk in the park or riding the subway downtown,” The counselor added, “You have not really failed and spoiled your chances for success until you have been unsuccessful at something you really like, and to which you have given you best effort.” 21. In the first paragraph, the author implies that ________ are essential in achieving success. A. ability and goals B. goals and determination C. ability and environment D. goals and environment 22. The word “frugal” (Line 2, Para. 2) means ________. A. wealthy B. wasteful C. thrifty D. miserable 23. Some rich people consider themselves unsuccessful because ________. A. their life is miserable B. they do not live in peace C. their goals are too low D. they are not rich enough by their own standards. 24. The last paragraph implies that ________. A. we should have high goals B. success means taking a walk in the park C. success means achieving great goals D. success means trying one’s best at what one really likes 25. This passage mainly talks about ________. A. the definition of success B. how to achieve success C. how to set goals D. the importance of goals Passage Three Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: The Japanese view of aging is markedly different from that in the United States. In contrast to the old in America, the elderly in Japan occupy a position of honor. In part, this respect for age is based on ancient social and religious traditions not readily adaptable to pour culture. But there are specific Japanese programs and practices that we might well import. Old people in the United States may not be given much respect because they often lack status. Strongly encouraged to leave their jobs at sixty-five, many then occupy the lower rungs of the economic ladder. In Japan the able-bodied continue to work or to help their families in their homes. In addition, they are guaranteed a minimum income, receive free annual health
